Cheryl watched uneasily as her mother entered the building before looking back at Caroline. "Caroline."Caroline said, "Cheryl, this is a family matter, so I can't really get involved. You should do what needs to be done." After that, she got into the car.As Cheryl watched the car drive away into the distance, she felt a warmth in her chest. The meaning behind Caroline's words couldn't be more obvious. She was telling her that she could use the company's resources however she wanted.Caroline wouldn't interfere with her decisions, even if she wanted to get security to drive her mother away. At the thought of this, Cheryl had mixed feelings as she caught up with her mother.…At this moment, Caroline was in the car. After thinking about it, she felt she should tell Jack about what had just happened.Yesterday, she had noticed Cheryl visibly becoming more cheerful after Jack arrived. She had also seen Jack stealing glances at Cheryl. They were probably in love with each other, a
The person standing at the door gave Willow a fright. The man was wearing a plain white t-shirt, and he had muscular arms. His gaze was fierce and vicious. Even a self-important person like Willow was frightened by him. However, Cheryl was startled when she hurried over and saw who the man was. She suddenly felt small. However, Jack didn't notice. He stared at Willow coldly and said, "Excuse me, this is an office. You shouldn't be causing a scene here. Please leave. I'll have to call the police if you don't."Willow finally regained her composure and said, "I just came to visit my daughter. Why would you call the police? Are visitors not allowed at this company?"She spoke loudly and attracted the attention of everyone at the office. They were Cheryl's colleagues, but Willow didn't care.She wanted the whole world to watch, if possible. Cheryl went pale.Jack put his manners aside and dragged Willow toward the elevator. Frightened, Willow started yelling. "Help! He's bullying
Jack only remembered that he had to send Caroline a text when he got into the car after saying goodbye to Cheryl. He couldn't help but smile as he fished out his phone."Ms. Evans, the situation has been dealt with."Caroline smiled when she saw his text. She had been right. It seemed like Jack really had feelings for Cheryl.Caroline pocketed her phone and walked into the office building. The receptionist greeted her warmly. "You must be Ms. Evans. Please wait a moment. The president will be right down."Soon, a group of people walked over from the elevator. They approached Caroline enthusiastically the moment they spotted her and shook hands with her. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Evans. I'm the president of this company, Travis Hanson. You can call me Travis."Caroline smiled, and Travis continued, "Let's talk upstairs.""Sure," said Caroline.Upstairs, Caroline was met with stares from everybody as she walked to Travis' office. They looked nervous, as if Caroline were a very impo
Although she had lost more than a year's worth of memories, Caroline still remembered a little about Asher. As the heir of the Hackkett family, Asher was respected by others in the industry and was a very capable man. That was why nobody could figure out how he had ended up with Aurora. Caroline thought for a moment and decided to answer the phone.The moment the call connected, Asher said, "Hello, Ms. Evans. Do you have a moment? I would like to apologize to you personally for the negative things my girlfriend said on social media."Asher spoke into the phone with class as he glanced at Aurora, who was beside him. "That isn't necessary. I will still take legal action regardless of whether you apologize," said Caroline.Asher didn't care if those other companies crumbled. He only cared about protecting Hackett Group."Caroline, we kind of grew up together. I admit that Aurora crossed a line, but she has already realized her mistake. Give her a chance. I'm not doing this to ma
Aurora agreed, but she didn't feel confident about it. Although Eddy had shown her the masked man who was always with Caroline, she couldn't guarantee that she could meet him. After all, she couldn't even meet Caroline. However, Eddy must have his reasons for giving her such an order. She clenched her fingers around her phone. She would make Caroline's life a living hell!… It was already 10:00 pm by the time Caroline got back to the hotel after a busy day. She saw Kirk reading at the study table when she opened the door. The light from the lamp cast a shadow against him. He was so handsome. Caroline let her gaze wander over him until it reached his face. She thought it felt like too soon. If only … As if he could hear her thoughts, Kirk turned to her and said, "You're back?" Caroline nodded, and he waved her over. She walked closer to him, and he handed her a glass of warm water. "Are you hungry?" he asked. Caroline shook her head, and her gaze rested on the mask on h
Early the next morning, Eddy heard that Aurora had made a move. The stress he had been feeling over the past few days finally faded away.Simon noticed that Eddy was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Morrison, Mr. Norton is waiting downstairs.""Mr. Norton?" asked Eddy with his eyebrows raised."Yes. One of Norton Group's subsidiaries developed a new type of medicine. It's used to help children grow taller. It has been under formulation for many years and hasn't been released into the market. The company has met problems with the funding, so they want to sell the formula." Eddy frowned and said, "That sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's not a scam?""I asked someone to look into it, and everything turned out to be true," said Simon. Eddy chuckled. "It seems like I'm on a lucky streak! Tell Mr. Norton I'll be right down.""Yes, sir." Then, Simon went downstairs.Eddy looked at himself in the mirror, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Caroli
Asher immediately took a step backward because of Kirk's intimidating air. He said with a smile, "Ms. Evans, we really want to apologize to you sincerely."Meanwhile, Aurora was looking at Kirk, who was beside Caroline. There was a yearning look in her eyes. People in the entertainment industry saw more handsome guys in their lifetime than normal people. Aurora no longer cared about looks. However, the jealousy she felt grew even stronger the moment she set eyes on Kirk. She didn't even have to see his face. His body was enough to piss her off.She remembered that Caroline knew someone like that, but that person had worn spectacles. Had she changed boyfriends again?How did Caroline get so many hot guys? Regardless of Eddy's orders, Aurora herself wanted to take Kirk's mask off instantly.Caroline frowned with displeasure when she noticed Aurora staring at Kirk. She pulled Kirk with her, wanting to leave. "Mr. Hackett, I'll repeat myself. I do not accept your apology, and you
Kirk led Caroline out of the hotel. His expression was still grim when they reached the entrance."Don't be mad," said Caroline as she touched Kirk's arm lightly. "You've already taught Aurora a lesson, haven't you? And don't worry, I won't meet anyone from the Hackett family or anyone connected to Aurora anymore." Only then did Kirk's expression soften, and he said, "Okay, go to work.""Okay." Caroline waved goodbye and got into the car.Kirk kept staring at the car until it disappeared from sight and a fierce look returned to his eyes. Aurora had been aiming for his mask just now.She must have a motive for doing something so direct. Removing his mask would trigger Caroline. Aurora didn't know that, but … Kirk clenched his fists. Eddy knew. It was him again! Kirk took his phone out and called Charles. "What has Eddy been up to recently?"Charles sensed the annoyance in Kirk's tone and said hastily, "He's been busy trying to suppress Evans Group, but his plans came to not
